I have purchased (2) sets of LTX MS ( l set on a 1990 Jeep cherokee laredo, and on a 1997 grand cherokee laredo. Both sets have been excellent, with the set on 1997 jeep still with more than half the tread after 40,000 miles. I intended on getting these for my wife's 2007 jeep grand cherokee laredo, but unfortunately I couldn't afford them at the time. Also, the tires on the 1997 have been on for 8 years. I have recommended these tires to several of my friends, and I know least three have purchased the LTX MS. These tires are outstanding for all season, long mileage, and quite/smooth ride.

overall I really like the tires. They are probably the best tires I have owned so far. I like them so much I just put a set on my mom Pathfinder and it also made a huge improvement over the stock tires. Even my mom said she could feel a big difference.

Quiet and better ride

I purchased our Defenders for our 2015 F-250 Super Duty before leaving for our 2000 mile trip. The tires are noticeable quieter and has a better ride quality than the tires (non Michelin) that I replaced. So far I'm very pleased with them. I have never had a problem with any Michelin tire I've purchased.

Poor tread wear. Only 4/32nds left at 39k miles.

This is the 3rd set of Michelin tires I have purchased. I have been sold on them for years. I purchased these in Feb 2017 for my wife's 2002 Ford Ranger Tremor. This is the second set that's been on her truck. My truck also has a set on it. The last set lasted 60k miles when I replaced them. I researched your site for the "New" Defender LTX M/S replacement tires with 70k mile tread wear warranty that supposedly lasts longer than the old LTX M/S 2 tires I replaced. I was "SOLD". Sadly the new tires have 39k miles on them and only have 4/32nds tread left on all 4 tires. I had the front end rebuilt with new control arms, drove it to tire store with old tires, bought new tires and had the alignment done. I rotate the tires myself every other oil change, done at 3k miles for a 6k mile total on tires. I keep the tire pressure checked year round and have had the alignment checked twice since buying them. They are all wearing even across the tire with no cupping or uneven wear showing. I am disappointed that I now need new tires again with just over half the miles warranted. I will contact your company to see how good the warranty is as I have been a loyal customer. Thank you. P.S. We love the ride quality and no road noise of these tires too. Just don't last. Sad!

Consistent performance in all conditions

After 80,000 miles on the original factory LTX M/S there was no doubt about what my replacement tires would be! The next generation of the LTX M/S have not disappointed. In fact, they continue to exceed my expectations in all driving conditons. From rain to snow and the little off-roading I do, these tires handle everything! What I am most impressed with is the braking distance. I feel very safe and secure in my vehicle with these tires.

Not your father's Michelin's!

My previous tires (another brand) were smooth as glass on my 2014 Buick Enclave, but they were exceptionally noisy and wore out in less than half the miles warranted. I put on these Michelins, and aftrer three tire shop balances, they were still vibrating. Noise level was fine, but the shook the entire car above 60 mph. My favorite independent auto repair shop discovered that my tire shop had not distributed the weights correctly on these Michelins, and gave me a proper, courtesy re-balance. That made a big improvement, but there is still a slight vibration above 60 mph. This is not my first set of Michelins. Most have been great, although there was one set that did not deliver on the treadwear mileage. Besides the ongoing vibration problem, these Michelins are the roughest riding tires I have ever owned. They transmit every pebble and pavement crack through the entire car. They even vibrate over glass-smooth asphalt. I am extremely unhappy with these Defender LTX M/S - so much so that I will likely never buy another Michelin tire.

Dave, we are sorry to read that you are unhappy with the Defender LTX M/S tires on your Enclave. As part of the Michelin Promise Plan, these tires come with a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. You are still within that 60 day period. Simply return to the selling retailer to have the tires swapped out. Have the dealer contact us with any questions. We hope that you will consider Michelin's as your replacement tires.

Prior to installing these ...

Prior to installing these tires, my vehicle hydroplaned several times, even at fairly low speeds, when the road was only moderately wet. My previous tires were only a year old, but I replaced them with these Michelins, due to the poor traction. That was 2 years ago and I haven't hydroplaned since, no matter what the weather conditions or driving speed. Additionally, these Michelins have been left on year-round during that time. They perform great in mud, rain and snow, both on the highway, and off-road. They've also been used extensively in hot, dry weather at highway speeds. I've driven across the country on them twice, and they still don't show any excessive wear. These are good safe tires, and the price was more than fair, considering the safety and function they've provided.

Great Ride!!

Not my first set of Michelins and not the last! But they will certainly be on twice as long as the last set that came on the truck and only lasted 35K and where anything but a comfortable and quite ride! The cost more but worth every penny and pay for themselves with the extra. mileage you get out of every set. The LTX never disappoints!

Snoothest Riding Tire Ever

The tires will grow on anyone who rides in your car. They perform in all conditions. People are amazed on how well they grip the road even in wet weather. I put this tire on all of my kids cars for years. My company I work for put them on all of their trucks. Out all of the years I have used Michelin, I have never had to use my spare tire. You will be amazed of the quiet comfort ride they provide.

Excellent Tire!

We own 3 vehicles (1 truck & 2 SUV's) & use the Michelin LTX M/S on all of them. We rotate them every 6,000 - 8,000 miles & have always gotten many more miles out of them than is listed. The LTX M/S is outstanding in the snow! We live in a rural area with lots of hills & curves. My husband's job requires him to be on the road before snow plows ever clear our back roads & he loves the traction they provide. Very smooth ride too!
